What do “I Got Rhythm”, “So What, Cherokee”, “Caravan”, “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”, and “A Night In Tunisia” all have in common? Two things: they’re all popular tunes for jazz musicians to play, and they all have an AABA structure. In this lesson we’ll take a look at several AABA tunes and strategize ways to build a compelling solo over the entire arc of 32 bars (and, at the same time, how not to get lost in the middle of the tune!).
This lesson was recorded as part of Strings Without Boundaries, a multi-style string conference operating for over 27 seasons. In partnership with artistic director Julie Lyonn Lieberman, recordings from past Strings Without Boundaries conferences are now available on myTalentForge.
